Is it true the Joshua is soon to expand by 18,000 acres?

I read that a bill is proposed to incorporate a lot of low desert land into the park. Dunno what that would mean except higher operating costs

Uh-oh. I always thought first light of day in USA was either Cadillac Mtn near Bar Harbor, Maine or maybe the edge of Maine and New Brunswick near Campobello. I don't ever recall Mt Katahdin.
Could a bottle cap be wrong or am I just remembering wrong?

Those red and yellow dots on tires? I don’t think this had been discussed.

The yellow dot is the lightest point on a tire and should line up with the valve stem. The red dot is the lowest spot on a tire and should line up with the highest point on a wheel. The red dot is suppose to govern over the yellow dot but in my experience the yellow dot always ends up on the valve stem. Somehow the wheel is marked to show its highest spot.

According to the Census Bureau, 80% of the U.S. population lives in urban areas. The remaining 20% lives in areas classified as rural.

That is some useful information!
